    How Do I get Hikvision NVR interface to show device MAC addesses

    What NVR interface or app are you using? Isn't it more useful and intuitive to name the cameras based on their location or some other suitable designation? That's always been possible on all the Hikvision NVRs that I have used.

    UniFi Protect Cameras; how can we make sure they are not connected to internet? Aren't they communicating with Ubiquiti servers?

    Yes, if you have a (managed) switch that has the ability to do 'port mirroring' where you can configure the port on which the camera traffic flows to mirror the traffic to the port that the PC is connected on so it can be monitored. Otherwise, all you will see from the camera is broadcast and...

    DS-2CV2041G2-IDW wireless camera with EXIR momentarily going dark

    That sounds likely. Perhaps the ambient light level is just on the edge of the day/night transition level. Try adjusting the sensitivity value, either up or down.

    Support Needed – Hikvision CCTV Network Issue

    Which I think implies that there is a power interruption on the changeover. Yes, if there is a short break in power before the UPS takes over, or if the under-voltage activation of the UPS is set too low for the cameras to still be properly powered. A PoE switch? How are the cameras usually...

    Help and tips to connect several towns.

    My suggestion - ask them to provide a suitable network for you to have all the cameras connected to it, secured according to their required standards.

    Hikvision IPC DS-2CD2112-I reset

    One possible cause could be that the NVR was hacked and the password changed if UPnP is enabled on both the NVR and router, or 'port forwarding' is enabled. Sorry, but these are 'reset request' files that only Hikvision can provide a response file to, they are not configuration files that can...

    Hikvision cam adding to DVR but not NVR

    The easiest way to connect Hikvision cameras to a Hikvision NVR is to reset the camera to an 'inactive' state, then connect the camera to an NVR PoE port that's in Plug&Play mode. The NVR will 'activate' the camera and connect it automatically.

    I think I Bricked it?

    That's an RS-485 adaptor. For the serial console, you'll need a TTL serial adaptor, such as a PL2303TA-based one.

    I think I Bricked it?

    Did you buy a 'USB to TTL serial' adaptor? The 4-pin connector that you tried is most likely the serial UART.

    Hikvision NVR resets IP-camera login credentials

    I'd speculate - without any evidence to back it up - that the Reolink doorbell itself is implicated in changing the password the NVR is configured to use for it. Hikvision have not used admin/12345 for many years, they moved away from default credentials quite a while back. The ONVIF standard...

    How Do I configure Nikvision NVR to add several remote cameras using a POE switch?

    Can you connect the NVR LAN port to the PoE switch, and another port on the PoE switch to the router? That way, the camera traffic will not go across the router.

    HIKVISION experience help needed please

    Generally, the 'smart events' would be generated in the cameras, with the events being notified to the NVR to do what it's configured to do with them such as start recording. Using the NVR to create 'smart events' is for when dumb cameras (such as motion detection only) are connected. That's...

    How Do I configure Nikvision NVR to add several remote cameras using a POE switch?

    As you've discovered, a Hikvision NVR with PoE ports will only see one camera per PoE channel, even if multiple cameras cameras are on a PoE switch that is connected to one of the NVR PoE ports. The switch with the multiple cameras connected should be connected to the same LAN that the NVR LAN...
